Well that time has come,
All your life you have worked,
Worked through to retirement.
That day when your life’s work
Had now gone.
For five years the easy life was yours,
But no, there was still work to be done.
During this time love has been there,
Love of your wife,
Love of your children,
Love of friends.
But now another milestone is reached
As the three score years and ten has come,
A time to once more reflect,
Reflect on your life
And look back at the good times,
As the good times
Always outweigh the bad.
Reflect on your long life
And look to the future
In hope, in joy and in love,
Always in love.
